WatchOS - Siri problem, "Media will play louder" then nothing.

[jmpage2]

I've been experiencing this problem for at least the last two WatchOS releases and am wondering if anyone knows of any feedback or workarounds for it.

I will use Siri to ask my LTE connected watch to turn music volume up or down "Siri turn it up", Siri will say "Media will play louder" but then nothing. It's just sitting on the Siri screen. Sometimes it will time out after 10 seconds but other times it will just sit there indefinitely until I tap the digital crown (this is with Watch Ultra).

It's really inconvenient to have to tap the crown to get past this because I'm often riding a bike when this happens, or my hands might be covered with gloves in the wintertime.

I've tried things like saying "ok" to Siri but none of that works.

If anyone knows of a setting or workaround to this I would love to know about it. Seems like a bug or just crap Siri design on the watch. Never happens on my iPhone.

I think I might have identified what is going on with this.

When I ask for the volume change Siri continues listening for a period of time after the change is performed. When I'm riding my mountain bike, skiing, etc. there is background noise and Siri probably thinks I'm talking and waits and waits and waits before the normal playback volume continues.

I tested this out by trying the command several times where I just stopped riding my bike, and the pause before playback continues at the new volume is less than five seconds.

When riding it can be for an indefinite period of time.

Seems that this could be addressed by Apple if they chose to via a setting to limit the listen period after a command is run.
